Hi all, Can anyone help me by finding the marriage of James QUAIL, registered in the March quarter of 1888 in Loughborough. I believe he married a Sarah, but FreeBMD only appears to have his name. Best wishes, Mike Gould

If Gillian Davies is using this site and would like to contact me with regards to Daniel Plummer 1757 feel free to do so, I got your name from Genes Reunited with reference to the above named. But I do not intend to pay them £9-50 to be of help to you in your research.

Hi A good source for Whitwick info might be the Whitwick Historical Society who I understand have a transcription project - you can find their details and more about Whitwick here: http://www.whitwick.org.uk/history/history.htm As I've mentioned before, although I have no particular historical links with Whitwick and I also don't have any access to archives etc, I do live in the village so can take photos of graves, old buildings etc once you get to that point.

Tried various sources but Whitwick does not seem to be available either on L&RFHS P/R CD or on OPC page at http://www.leicestershirevillages.com/ Was interested in the name HALLAM as I am descended from a Francis HALLAM (1637- ?)who founded a family of that name who mostly lived in Stoney Middleton area of Derbyshire. The name originates from the old old name for a county west of Sheffield called "Hallamshire". Commemorated today in the Hospital - Royal Hallamshire Hospital in Sheffield. It is still a catholic diocese in South Yorkshire today. If you are interested in history a brief account can be found at http://www.rotherhamweb.co.uk/h/hallamshire.htm Francis HALLAM was my 7 x gr grandfather if I have done the counting right!

If you find either of them in the probate indexes you will get the benefit of getting a place of residence and a date of death. A child or other family member may be named in the probate index as an executor. The probate papers are not very expensive and may name other family members. One of them could also be named as an executor of the estate of a BURSNALL family member. I see that John is not listed on the CWGC site as a WW1 casualty. Keep looking in FreeBMD from time to time Hope this helps Graham in Kirwee, Canterbury, NZ.
